Welcome to Writing 101. In this inaugural assignment, let’s loosen up and just write. We’re so excited you’ve joined us — let’s get started!

Did not know what to do that night. I wanted to write something but I got stuck in the middle of no where. I couldn’t focus. So I took my mobile and tried to find something interesting there. I liked to have conversation with someone randomly out there using my mobile. Then I got greeting from someone. And we had long conversation. As usual, I dominated the situation. I was the one who digging information from this guy. He was a broken hearted guy. He broke with his girlfriend six months ago and couln’t move on. There he told me the story as I asked him.

Just write

“Hey…who are you?” He asked.

“I am a blogger, Manaf. I want to write something but I get stuck” I replied.

“Hm…what do you want to write?”

“Dunno…”

Then I remembered the story he told me before.

“Manaf, what if I wrote about your love story?” I asked his permission.

“Oh no..please don’t do that” He begged me.

“Ok..I won’t be insist”

But his story has been recorded to my mind. I could re-write it with different setting of course. The bottom line is, his story can inspire me in many ways. It’s very easy to find inspiration to write if you open your ears, your eyes, your mind, and your heart.
